@alexg: Hello, your knife has the bakelite grips which are typical for this PUMA knife. Today to my best knowledge bakelite in this certain structure is not produced any more so for me it is next to impossible to fake it this way and to produce a fake with such grips. Alone from this circumstance your knife is original, period. My PUMA has a known, legit blade -bowie knife- variant. What I do understand in the other thread you do mention is, that it was said that the crossguard is slightly altered (filed). This knife does come with at least two kinds of crossguard, a smaller iron(?) one and a broader alu/pot metal one. Yours and mine do have the broader (later?) variant. In my pics you see the bulbous arched form of the crossguard which indeed seems to be slightly filed flat concening your knife. Nevertheless your knife remains beeing original (the postwar repainted scabbar has been already mentioned in a contribution). Regards,
